“Charm personified.”

“The stand-out a cappella group of the Fringe. ★★★★★”
FringeReview.co.uk
“The Oxford Gargoyles sell-out performance offers the perfect a cappella experience; blending pitch perfect harmonies with a minor comedic undercurrent to ensure all types of fans are catered to.....From the offset the jazz influence of the groups style is on show, with a medley of ragtime classics, some even mashed up with contemporary hits, and the audience is treated to an exploration of what is quickly becoming a forgotten genre. This, when coupled with the popularity of collegiate a cappella, a movement that the Gargoyles have been at the forefront of for 15 years, gives a real insight into the passion of the performers, and the level of hard work required to make a combination of pieces work.”
